that's another sector that's moving based on those same pelosi comments.the press conference she addressed windfall profit tax. the fact insurers as well as over players in the industry have more to bring to the table in order to reduce costs on health care for all. we're seeing that group all trading lower, practically at session lows. j.j. for some time we have seen the volatility low. the options were the smarter way to go. is that still the case? >> absolutely it is, even though volatility has risen. the insurers are proverbial rented mule. everybody is kicking them and abusing tem right now. the better way to play them i would think would be to buy puts or sell upside call spreads. giving yourself a chance to be wrong and still make some money on them. and we're starting to see some of that activity as people speculate on the puts. volatilities are higher. take advantage of the volatility. allow yourself a little room for error. >> anything you like in this space? >> when the rhetoric that it's worse, which apparently is now, those are the names you w

i think it is going to have to -- nancy pelosi and harry reid have to be out there strong arming some of your members, because you've got such a diverse group from the progressive liberals to the blue dogs and i think the blue dogs or the ones that will have problems with this bill and they are those moderates that are 49 of you are in districts that were won by john mccain and it is a different constituency they have there and i know, we saw this summer, some of the hard times to go home, and, meet with their constituents, when i don't think a lot of the -- lot of them agree with the bill that has been proposed. >> julie: i have to say a lot of democrats are complaining they don't have nancy pelosi's support, she is not necessarily backing them and they are afraid when they go to vote it could backfire, midterm elections and you need your leaders to support. i mean, your party, that is -- into right. >> julie: kind of -- >> and so i think -- julie, that is what i think it will be passed with one or two votes, because, they'll let people off, that, you know, have a constituency that d

i agree with nancy pelosi. i think everybody should apologize for blaming the other side for death, whether it's death panels or what congressman grayson said and try to keep it civil on the floor. that's the way the founders wanted it and consistent with the traditions of the american republic. but in terms of stopping acting like panzys, which too in democrats have for a long time, it's greet and great for him to speak out. >> do you think he was not civil on the floor, jonathan? do you think he went over the top? >> i do. on the floor he went over the top where he's basically accusing the republicans of favoring the death of people. the statistics are right. it's that extra, you know, twist that lays the dead bodies at their feet that takes you into the realm of, you know, what you could call uncivil dialogue. that just rubs all the wounds raw. we can get health insurance, we can be tough without engaging in that kind of language. but there's no reason for him to apologize, because the republicans, as he poi

did pelosi come along and tell you to cool it? did steny hoyer tell you to cool it? you get any mean looks on the republicans on the floor from boehner? boehner looks like the golfer who has blown a putt? doesn't he look like that to you? looks like he's playing golf all the time. throws it down, ticked off, takes the putt and blows it. he always looks like that. what did you learn in these couple days of being the hot shot? >> well, what i learned is people really want a congressman who has guts, who says it like it is. for god sakes, for months we've been on the defensive. why? we have a plan, the other side doesn't. they have nothing. it's been 72 hours since i've said this. where have we heard about the republican plan? who has stepped forward to say, no, grayson is wrong, it's not true. they only do their personal attacks and means nothing because the american people deserve better than that and they know it. >> how come we've spent, now, 50 some years going back to harry truman with nightclub comics, all the way back to allen king talking about doctors and peop
